Spring Break

Doing schoolwork with two young children means that chunks of time off are not a good idea. So we're taking our Spring Break randomly - a day off here, a day off there. Usually we only do 4 days of work per week, but it's been so nice out that this has gotten down to 3 days or so each week. I thrive under the discipline of a rigorous schedule myself, so it's as much for my sake as theirs that we avoid taking more than 3 days off in a row (this includes weekends). Today we went to a garden center - I think this rates right up there with an ice cream tasting event for me. And we picked up a few annuals. It's finally SPRING!
